Welcome to BP Nation Michael.

His business is national in scope so he can provide information for lots of geographic areas. 

Unless you are an institutional firm in the US, you run the added risk of being swindled, hustled, and straight up robbed by places in the world that would appeal to is American investors because it makes sense "on paper".

In MS I lost a few properties as a lender in possession and was able to get the courts to overturn the sale using the same arguments you post above.And there is one case in San Francisco in the 80's I recall it made regional if not national news.

Hello BP nation!

@Joe Gore thank you, I have done some research into owning property in Mexico and what I've found thus far is that on the interior you can own it just like a Mexican national; but on the shores, which is where this property is, it has to be held through a trust with a major bank as the trustee as a workaround for the restrictions that were in effect in the 90s.

David Lereah (former president of the National Association of Realtors) put out a few books:2000 - The Rules for Growing Rich Making Money in the New Information Economy2005 - Are You Missing the Real Estate Boom?

Whether either option would be profitable is a different story.I know that here in Charleston, a lot of the big national builders are buying neighborhoods that have been developed (but not necessarily built), but then again this a quickly growing area and new home sales are pretty strong.
